MOP.

Application filed May 5,

Til "o ILLUQMIIQ'HL it may concern: r

it known that 1, WILLIAM J. Moons, a citizen oi the -United States,residing at ll'iiladelphia, in the county or Ph iladelphicfand State ofPennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inMops,of which the following is a Myinveutio-nrelates to mops and its objectis to provide a mop holder and mop-' cloth which maybe readily detachedfrom each other; a mop-cloth which will not lose its strands, and amop-holder which will re' ceive and hold a pair ofmop-cloths, permitting av large mop-cloth to be made in two pieces and thereby facilitateitshandling. I

This object, and other advantageous ends which will be describedhereinafter, I attain in the following manner, reference being' had tothe accompanying drawings in which Figure 1 is a front elevation of amop con-.

structed in accordance with my inverition,- Figure 2 a side view ofFigure 1, Figure 3 a plan view of Figure I, Figure 4: a central sectionthrough the Figure 5 a perspective view of one of -the sections whichmake: up the body erthe,

niop-holder,

strands folded and stitched again, and pro hooks 12 are secured to videdwith eyeletsfor receiving the holding, niieans of the'mop-holder, and vFigure .9 a, section through the reinforc fling; hand and one of theeyelets.

referring" to thedrawings, the hoop-holder 1 injade in sections 2 and 3secured or:

' vie-cu. with a semi-circular socket-part 5 and,

a fiat body-part6 having catches 7 struck u therefrom. When the sectionsare rivete together-the socket parts 5 :torm a socket S.

and the body parts 6 forms a body 9; The soclretS rcceivesfahandle-lll-which isse cured thereto by rivets v the opposite sides.

7 of the body 9 by rivets 13 which extend from the hook on one side ofthe body to thd hook on the other' side. A mop-cloth 14 is prcvidedwithopenings 15 for recelving the placed around the strands.

hooks 12. f The hoolrs we locked to the body by the catches 7 as shownin Figuresl and 3. The construction of the mop-cloth may be of anysuitable character but preferably as shown in Figures 6 to 9. Thestrands 16 oil liquid-absorbing material are laid as shown in'Figure .6and a reinforcing'band 17 The band is secured thereto by any suitablemeans such as the stitching 18. A reinforcing core 19 is .laid along thecenter row of the stitching 18 and the band and strands folded thereonand stitched again at 20 and 21. The folded sides 22 and 23 of the bandare provided with the openings 15 which are reinforced by eyelets 24. Ifdesired these openings may e reinforced by knitting around them.

When it is desired to remove the mopcloths to Wash them,the hooks arereleased from the crutchesv 7 as shown in Figure 4; and the mop-clothslifted off the hooks. By providing the mop-cloths in pairs, a'large mopcloth is done away with and the handling of the cloths when washing themis facilitated: When the mop-cloths are-worn on one side they me beturned aroundand used on the other si e, thus lengthening the life ofthe cloth. By constructingthe mop-cloth with a reinforcing band as abovedescribed, the strands will not pull out as was commonin mop-clothsprior to my invention.-

While I have'described my invention as takinga particular form, it willbe understood that thevariousjparts of my invention may be changedwithout departing from the spirit thereof, and hence I do not limit myself to the precise construction 'setforth, but consider that I am'atliberty to make such j changes and, alterations as fairly come withinthe scope .of'the appended claims. thus described my invention, what Icalm as newand lLettersPatent is a socket and a .flat part spendingedgewise fromjthe socket; hooks attached to the sides ofitlfebody partand adapted to. receive a mop cloth, and means on. the body partadaptedto engage the hooks to prevent the desire to secure by 1. A mopholder including a body having lot mop cloth from being accidentallypulled from the hooks.

, 2. A'mop holde'rincludingaloody having a socket and a flat partdepending edgewise front the socket; catches ,lonthe sides of the bodypart, andho'oks attached to'the sides of the" body part adapted toreceive a mop cloth and to be sprung into engagement with the catches toprevent the mop clothi from being accidentally pulled from the hoo s;

3. A mop including a body; a handle on the body; a mop-cloth; hooks onthe body for receiving the n1opcioth, and catches struck up from thebody for locking the ends of the hooks to the body.

4. A. mop including a body having a socket and made in sections. eachsection being provided with a semi-circular socket part, a flat bodypart, and catches struck up from the fiat body part; mop-cloths, andhooks on the body for receiving the inofcloths and adapted to be lockedto the body by the catches.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two suhsciihing Witnesses.
